HOW ACADEMIC PATHWAYS WORK
One relationship. Two directions.
Every academic pathway partner connects to Nexford one of two ways — continue your degree there, or transfer in from there.
Start at Nexford, then continue and complete your degree at the partner institution — on-campus or online — with credit, scholarships, and admissions already arranged.
Study at the partner first. Certificates, diplomas, or completed coursework are evaluated and applied toward your Nexford degree, with admissions and transfer credit already in place.

Is there a transfer credit review fee?
No. Nexford does not charge a transfer credit review fee. All eligible transfer credit evaluations are provided at no additional cost.
Can I still work full-time while on an academic pathway?
It depends on the pathway. Nexford's flexible online learning model is built for working professionals, allowing you to balance your studies with full-time employment while meeting scheduled course deadlines. Some pathways — like Constructor University and San Francisco Bay University — include an on-campus component at the partner institution, which may affect your schedule. Fully online pathways, like Capella University, let you keep working throughout.
